A review by crystal_staley
Unfortunate Elements of My Anatomy by Hailey Piper

4.0

I really enjoyed this collection!  These stories are so imaginative and unique. There is a sense of uneasiness that lies underneath the surface. Many left me feeling just a bit off balanced…in a good way.  There are so many strange and wonderful creatures and beings in these stories, I’m continually blown away with what she comes up with!  There is also a realness and honesty to her human characters, often so relatable in their emotions. This is a solid short story collection and solidifies Piper as a favorite author. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
